I'm working on X11 on a Sun 3 OS3.4.  Xmh dies (killing Xsun too) when I try to
reply to a message.  It dies in utime().  The line is ~453 in tocutil.c -- it looks
like
        (void) utime(toc->scanfile, (time_t *)NULL);

The problem (I think) is that utime() on SunOS3.4 gives a segmentation violation
when given this (dereferencing the NULL no doubt...).  What's the intent of this
code -- to give the file a *very* old time stamp?

Also, I use a draft folder with MH (set in mh .mh_profile).  Looks like xmh has
problems with this in a couple of places.  Seems better now that I commented the
entry out of my .mh_profile.  (I'd be glad to supply details on this if anyone
cares).
